Official Detroit Pistons thread

And Ivey is the pick.

[Forsh]

Either Ivey or Mathurin fine by me. Cool

[ghandi]

Love the pick! This guy wants to be in Detroit and his athleticism is off the charts. Thank you Sacramento

[Cody_Russell]

Wow. Obviously thrilled. I didn’t think Ivey would fall to Detroit based on all of the recent rumors. Credit to the Kings for hyping up the Ivey at #4 chatter.

Have to get a Pistons Ivey jersey or shirt now.

… and Mathurin goes #6 to Indiana. Not surprising.

[BJK]

Very happy with the Ivey pick, but bummed that the Pacers get Mathurin.

[whatever_gong82]

Hopefully the Ivey pick pays great dividends in the years to come.

[Cody_Russell]

Rumors the Knicks are still trying to trade for Ivey. If Duren is available at #11, the trade could happen.

I will be pissed if it’s just #11, Reddish, and crap future picks. It better include a future 1st that isn’t protected at the very least.

Assuming these rumors are true. I want Ivey!

[Cody_Russell]

Thank goodness. Good job, Troy Weaver.

[chemiclord]

Sounds like Ayton to the Pistons is a very strong deal at this point. That might have influenced the Pistons pick, perhaps?

[froot loops]

Duren to the Pistons for that Milwaukee pick.

[Cody_Russell]

Damn, I actually really like this trade.

Pistons get Jalen Duren.
Take on Kemba Walker’s 1 year, $9M contract.
Trade away that 2025 Milwaukee 1st. (should be in the 20s)

I assumed the Pistons were receiving Gordon Hayward’s much larger contract. Nope!

[ghandi]

Duren to the Pistons for that Milwaukee pick.

Didnt have to take on a salary dump like Gordon Hayward? nvm just saw Cody's post

[chemiclord]

I really like that deal too. Weaver effectively got Pick #13 for Grant then?

[froot loops]

I wonder if that puts the Ayton offer sheet out of the question.

[chemiclord]

Theoretically, the Pistons could still offer Ayton the max if they wanted.
